when I was in high school, I like to assemble a radio transmitter with the electronic tube in 1984 - 1987
The frequency working from 3.0 Mc to 3,8 Mc.I'm loved my homebrew.
Now I put the transmitter is no longer, because I do not have enough time, but still I keep it, probably because at that time to assemble, I was forced to work part time to buy a rather expensive components.
I used open dipole 1/2 lambda antenna.Its good working for 1000km distance.
